The current IBIS specification does not allow anything for the die other than C_comp. Even though I am not the most experienced in this area, I haven't seen a case where the on die inductance between the I/O buffer and its pad was larger then the package inductance. Judging by the dimensions, I would think that it should be much smaller, and therefore negligible. However, you can brake up your problem at a different boundary, if you still need to do this. You could consider the on die interconnect being part of your package and include its parasitics in the package model. That way the C_comp will only represent the buffer capacitance alone. There is nothing illegal about doing this, you may just want to write a bunch of comments to tell the IBIS model's user about what you did.

Related to this question, is it good enough to represent the on-chip parasitics with just a C_comp ? How about R and L ? I had a case with one vendor about their receiver model: for some of the pins, the on-chip parasitics are even bigger compared with packaging RLCs. I was told that these on-chip parastics represent routing parasitics from C4 pads to the actual receiver; Wondering how IBIS model take these into account ?
